Tank Build! 220 gallon build

Cleaning hint. I used a couple gallons of muratic acid poured into a full 220 tank and a circulation pump ran for a day emptied and rinsed out a couple of times and the tank was like brand new without any coralline algae and minimum scrubbing I have my 220 still in my heated garage awaiting for me to get healed up enough to take on the task of setting up. Picked up the muriatic acid at lowes for like 7 bucks a gallon.

 

I like that overflow

 

Looks like you have all the necessities in the sump below.

 

Nice! What do you plan on putting in it?

 

+1 on the muriatic acid
I've cleaned many tanks with it
Don't really want to breath the straight vapors
Also works great to unclog drains!

 

I agree with Bud I would also use vinegar

 

I used vinegar in the past and it seemed like it took forever versus 2 gallons diluted to 220 gallons I never really smelled any fumes whatsoever . As for the seals they weren't affected at all.

 

I've used a solution of vinegar and glycerol mixed in a spray bottle for my tanks over the years. The glycerol/glycerine makes it stick better so you don't have to repeat as many sprays. The mixture ratio can be tricky and I always forget to write it down. You could also try adding some xantham gum to thicken it but I'm not sure how well that would spray out of a bottle. I did it once and used a wide paintbrush and coated the inside of the entire tank. After one coat I was able to just spray it down with water and everything washed off. With the spray bottle method it takes me a few hours and spraying it probably 3 times total.

 

Looking good
